The Power of Cloud Computing: Integration and Intelligence

Abstract

This paper is based on the development of cloud computing to propose a new scenario for enterprise information systems. From a view of the cloud as an infrastructure technology, it is possible to think of inter-organization integrations in a more efficient way, in a great possibility of data mining with the data of different companies and in its later analysis of data for better decision making. For non-competitive environments, the scenario of integration and intelligence defended is extremely probable and there is already movement in this direction. However, it is understood that data privacy and copyright issues still require further study, in addition to market dominance by few players with unknown consequences.
